This chapter is brought to you by Zachary . techman.
Welcome to the modified chapter 10, the original one is still there, but you shall all not see it, because of some nice answers that were provided. Yeah, thank you Adrogoz. Anyway, let's begin, and I know nothing about Kid Icarus.
As bones finished everyone's physical, he heard the sound of a booooooooom. "What in blazes was that?" Without warning the floor fell out from under him. Metaknight flew down, catching him.
"Doctor McCoy, hold on!" The 2 began to glide to the ground, as swarms of empirical people closed in on the group. Leading them was an Espeon with white caked fur.
Bones snapped into doctor mode. "Meta, revive the ones whom can get away the quickest, hurry!"
Metaknight weighed his chances, then made a move towards Piccolo, before tapping him with his sword. Piccolo awoke, Bones was doing the same with Jim. "Come on, move!" The 2 got to their feet, then circled around each other until they had awakened all the people they could get away with. So far they had revived Shredder, Picard, Lizardman, Green Arrow, Ash, Krang, Lucario, and Spock. The rest were too far away to reach easily, the last empirical had snatched a toy of some sort.
Jim scowled. "So Bones, what's our next move?"
The doctor shared a knowing look with Picard. "We find the Stargazer.
It was a simple mission from the higher ups at Golden sword Hq. Check up on a dark army, slay one of the agents of the dawn, simple stuff. And he had succeeded in at least one of those tasks. As for the other task though… well… that was another story. Had it not been for them bringing Niko along…
Whoa, hold on Larten, you're getting ahead of yourself. It started with a simple flight to skyworld.
"So Antisora, what do you think about our current mission?"
The keyblader smiled at the general. "It is going to be very easy if I do say so myself."
"Don't get your hopes up, Nero warned us about complications that could go on," said Zero.
"Such as?" asked Ryu. He had not been in on the meeting between the senior leaders and their seconds in command. "He warned us of a white Lucario."
Ryu nodded. "Aah, and this Lucario is a threat because why?"
Taskmaster cuffed him on the head. "Ryu, you can be so dense sometimes…"
The people whom attended the meeting were Jean-Luc Picard, Piccolo, Larten, Zero, Nero, and Niklarin Goldeye, or as people called him, Niko. After they received their mission, Nero decided to have the Mage tag along with them. After all, Meta and Doctor McCoy were out of the HQ as well, so no help from those 2 until they were found, and of course, Picards group liked to stick together, so naturally the 6 piled aboard the Enterprise. Where they were now, even Larten didn't know.
Niko landed the craft, a shuttle called the iniquidy, or something like that. "Come along everyone, we have work to do," he exclaimed. Larten smiled, "lead the way, oh good seer of many things".
Niko cuffed the older vampire on the head. "Stop teasing me, please?" Zero just smiled as he poked the mage. The 5 got an evil glint in their eyes. "Why is everyone looking at me?" They chased him across the landscape.
The 5 laughed as they poked, prodded, and teased the mage until he began to smile. "Alright, you've won, happy?" Niko laughed. Antisora smiled, "'Course we are." They wondered farther across the landscape until they came across the army.
Larten looked around for anyone in particular, but found no one he personally knew. Niko, however, found what looked to be the leader of this group, a Bedizoid man, wait, Bedizoid man?
"Lon!" Larten ran up to Lon Suder. "So how's everything going with the army?"
The bedizoid smiled. "Better than I could have hoped for. We just cleared out a battalion of Illumise, their signal beams were crushing the civilians left and right, here"
"So I take it your killer's instincts are in check," Larten whispered.
"Haven't felt the urge to kill anything in a long while, and since Necrosabor gave me the gift to heal others, my energy has been put to use in other ways. I can also do this".
Larten heard a voice enter his head. "I can talk telepathically, and also this". A hand placed itself on his shoulder, and a sea of calm washed over him. "I have gained empathic abilities".
He let Larten go. "So that being said, we should be fine"
"Lon, just be careful". The bedizoid clapped the vampire on the shoulder. "You do the same." The 6 guardians departed.
They were about to return to their shuttle when a flash of energy rocketed past them, destroying the shuttle. "It is time for your enlightenment! Larten looked at what stood before them. It was the White Lucario.
"Niko, you ever go gambling?" Niko looked at the vampire. "What are you planning?"
Larten smiled. "You'll see".
The vampire produced his Neo-Vari, shooting sonic waves. Niko watched as the vampire piled wave atop of wave atop of wave until there looked to be a wall of sonic energy blocking them. "Mind if I cut in," asked Niko. "I would be insulted if you didn't. The mage used his magic to strengthen the wall, turning the sonic energy into a wall of fire. The white Lucario shot an aura flash through the wall, but Niko countered it with a glass sphere, which shattered on contact. Another Aura flash was launched through the wall, but this one was unable to be stopped, as it struck Larten in the back. The vampire fell.
"Larten, You okay?" asked Niko.
"Yeah, I think so", said Larten, getting back up.
The 2 combined their talents together, sending their wall of magic and energy rushing at the empire.
"Retreat!" White Lucario cried, sensing his army was being burned by the Duo's devastating might. The army retreated, but not before White Lucario could launch an Aura sphere through the wall, Niko blocking it with a magic barrier.
"Curse you, Goldeye, we'll be back. This isn't over," growled the white Lucario telepathically. "Take your best shot, I'll be waiting, meanwhile." White Lucario retreated.
"So what should we do now sense our ship's destroyed," asked Zero. "Hey Antisora, can't your keyblade turn into a ship?"
"I'm not sure Taskmaster, but I can try." He concentrated. In front of them was a ship. "Come on everyone, get in!" "Not so fast Sora," called Niko. The 6 got on the ship, Niko and Larten taking a seet together.
Niko took a look at Larten's aura using his magic… wait, that's not normal! The vampire began to convulse as the ship took off.
"Zero, get over here, now!" The two had the vampire propped between them, scanning him. "See that small spike between the pathways of his cerebral cortex?"
"Yes, Doctor Goldeye, and I don't like it," Zero sarcastically said.
"I don't think Antisora can cure this one." Niko and Zero watched as the convulsions became full blown body spasms. Antisora was piloting the ship as fast as he could, but it wouldn't be enough. Niko knew this.
"Zero, relieve Antisora," Niko instructed. "Now listen here, you may be the commander of your squadron, but I am your superior as long as you are here".
"No you are not, I play clause 21".
"You cannot, I am second in command of this unit".
While the two argued, Larten's condition got worse and worse until the two stopped. "Niko, He's burning!"
"Burning?" Niko touched the vampire then flinched back in horror. No, what have I done?" He ran up to the communications section. "This is Niklarin Goldeye of the good ship… keyblade express? Yeah, let's go with that," he thought internally.
Antisora was giving him the look that said "did you forget your brain, sir?" Niko gave Antisora the evil eye.
Bones sighed, they had looked long and hard for the stargazer, but couldn't seem to find it. "Damn it all!"
"Doctor McCoy, keep calm," Picard said. He and the rest of the group stopped at a small indentation in the ground.
"Jean-Luc, pull your foot back, please," Jim said. Picard moved his foot to reveal a small trapdoor. However, the door seemed to be opened in a rather ingenious way.
"This is no ordinary trapdoor," Jim said calmly. "What are you thinking, Jim?"
Jim turned to McCoy. "Bones, you know how a clock works?"
"Of course I do, why?"
Jim moved the doctor to stand on the door. "Now, when I move left, you need to move right. "Okay, but why?"
Jim smiled, "You'll see Bones, trust me."
The two began to move, Jim going clockwise, Bones going counterclockwise, until they met in the middle. Suddenly, without warning, the floor dropped right out from under the hole group, and they fell into an engineering room of some sort.
"That is no engineering room," Jim said.
"It's the engineering room," Picard finished quietly. The two headed to the bridge of the ship, taking their stations. Jim was in the chair to the left of the captain's chair where Picard resigned, Spock was to the right of Jim. Bones wondered into the sickbay, marveling at the giant transporter pad nearby. The builder really thought of everything. The fuel source was a bit funny though. Who powered their ship with magic energy? Wait, magic energy? "Jim, someone somehow got a hold of the warp core and enforced Mana conversion upon it.
"Magic doesn't exist, Doctor McCoy," said Spock. "Call it what you want Spock, but it is logical, and you should be siding with me."
"Bones, let me take a look," said Jim. He headed down to the engineering section. "Yep, ship definitely is running on magic, but is also powered by some kind of crystals, no, those aren't crystals. Their… he gasped. "Soulstones!"
Picard sighed "Seems Necrosabor left his mark upon this ship".
"Glad it was him, and not the empire," said Piccolo.
"Agreed," said Ash. The rest of the people took positions upon the ship.
"Mr. Piccolo, warp 5, punch it," bones screamed. The ship took off like a bat out of hell. At the same time though, Bones was feeling the backlash of something. He hooked up a tricorder, then scanned himself with it. The tricorder showed everything as normal.
"If it's not me, it must be… Piccolo walked into the sickbay a worried look on his face. A ship is calling us. Not directly," Bones said. "No," Piccolo agreed. But we need to respond. "Why… then he felt it, his body wanted to crawl away from him, he felt hot and cold at the same time. Scattered, trapped, lost, help. Jim walked into the sickbay to find a twitching Doctor McCoy. "Bones? Bones? Dammit Bones!"
Piccolo grabbed the doctor's hand, feeling for a pulse. He identified the culprit. "Jim, tell Picard to push warp 9."
Jim nodded, "Whatever you're going to try doing, be careful." Piccolo reached into Bones mind, then probed the link shut like closing a door. He tapped the doctor's shoulder to get his attention. "You feel any pain," he asked. Bones sighed, No. The nemekean did a cursory glance before nodding. The ships were close to meeting up, it would be only a few minutes till the Stargazer met up with the unidentified ship.
Niko forced every ounce of his magic to stall out the condition for as long as he could, trapping the offending stuff behind walls of glass, stopping it with walls of wind and fire, even dropping it through a wall of water. Nothing would hold it for long though. Zero was pushing the little unidentified ship as fast as it could go.
"Niko, just keep holding your post, we're almost there!"
"Remind me to never go on missions such as this again," Niko said. "Just a few more miles, come on, come on…"
The ship began to overheat. "Nooooooooooooo!" zero screamed. The group could do nothing as the ship reverted back into the keyblade, and the crew began to fall to their death. Niko looked at the people falling below him. No! He was on his last reserves of magic, he had to do something, if he didn't…
No, he wouldn't think like that, refused to. He through his magic into the vacuum of space, halting everyone's fall. He sent a telepathic cry to everything around him, help!
Picard was about to turn the ship around when he heard a voice amplified by magic screaming. It sounded like they wanted help of some sort. "Krang, get the transporters on line!" said Picard desperately.
Shredder and Krang went as fast as they could, "Hurry Krang, quickly!"
The two weren't going fast enough. Spock ran into the room, punching buttons as fast as he could. Together, the Vulcan and Ninja's were triple teaming the transporter. "Krang, turn the dial!" Spock instructed. Shredder's second in command turned the dial on the stargazer as fast as he could.
"Shredder, get the pads ready, quickly!" Shredder wrestled the pads into order, Spock hit the button on the transporter. "Shredder, we're losing one of them, turn up the gain!" Krang exclaimed. Shredder shot the dial to full power, and the life signs flashed back on the transporter.
"Shredder, beam that fragmenting set of life signs to sickbay, do it now!" Krang said panicking. Shredder shoved Spock out of the way, not an easy task, then started Jury-rigging the transporter to land the fragmenting person in sickbay. "We're losing him," Spock exclaimed. Krang turned the other knob to full, getting the fragmenting person's atoms back to stable. The beam began to separate as the people from the unidentified ship were transferred aboard. The other person who's atoms were defragmenting was safely transferred down to sickbay. The 3 got to their feet, Spock nodding at the two.
"Your services were commendable, gentleman." "Shredder and Krang nodded at the Vulcan before exchanging looks.
"Ya know, I think that's as close to a thank you as I've seen him give," said a rather tired taskmaster.
"Agreed," said Zero.
Niko was on the transporter pad, passed out. A rather concerned Leonard rushed into the transporter room, manhandling his way through. When he found Niko, he scooped the mage into his arms, carrying him into sickbay, placing him on a biobed to recover back his strength. He checked his vitals. Everything's okay, mental faculties need to recharge though. He headed to his next patient, one he hoped he'd never have to worry about again, Larten Crepsley.
Bones scanned the vampire for anything that might be causing all these warnings, then looked deeper into his medical files.
"Ah-ha, light has invaded the body, compromising his health, but someone was able to slow it down…"
He saw lots of constructs on the little tricorder, trying to slow the light particles down. Bones nit his fingers together.
"What do I do?" Then he remembered, he had a small pouch of soulstones on his cabinet. Desperately he looked through the Starfleet database on ways to remove light from a host comprised of darkness. He found satanic burning practices, and other dark stuff, like sacrificing children, which almost caused him to hurl. He was about to slam the computer shut, when an icon to an open document was flashing. Getting curious, he opened the file. The document contained a light removing spell!
He was in luck, he had all the ingredients right there. Granted the world didn't use gold any more, but hey, the people whom put this enchantment out didn't know that. He took the darkest soulstone he could find, than put it to the vampire's forehead, concentrating.
He felt a pulling sensation inside his head, it was working! Bones began to slump to the ground, but not before hands could catch him.
"I've got you, Doctor McCoy," said Metaknight. The knight of dreamland took over a moment for the doctor, pulling more of the light out of the vampire. Metaknight began to waver, and McCoy snatched back the connection. Together, Doctor and swordsman picked each other up until the light was out of the vampire. The black soulstone was about to shatter,
"Meta, beam it out of here: now!" The knight hit a button on the transporter pad, and the soulstone began to shimmer, before being incinerated mid transport.
"So doctor, is there anything you require?" Bones shook his head, "No, you did a good job, kid." Metaknight nodded, before flying out the door of the sickbay. Bones patted the sleeping mage on the shoulder, before whispering in his ear. "Good job, Niclarin." He thought he could hear a grunt of agreement from the mage. Bones walked out of the sickbay, hart full of hope.
A man was quietly walking through the empire's domain, a rather wicked looking grin on his face. He took a stroll through the quarters, avoiding some guards, killing others, it was all done at random. An agent of the dawn finally caught him.
"You there, stop!" The man looked around calmly, before casting a possession spell on him. The possessed agent took out his own sword, running himself through with it.
"Too easy"
Another agent came, but ran as he was charged by the man's raised vampire he had prepared from the corpse of his friend. He cast a wood woad spell on the piece of wood he had set on the ground, before raising the skeletal mage using a dragon tooth. He turned the corner until coming face to face with the imperial door.
This was it, if he went through and was able to do it, he'd be able to avenge those lost in his home world. He unlocked the door, opening it.
The Emperor got up, pulling his weapon, but the man didn't give him the chance to do anything as he quickly but efficiently ran up, and prepared to stab the dagger he had pulled from his soulstone bag, into his back. He followed through…
The scene freezes giving us a snap shot of the man's features. In the harsh light of the castle he is revealed. Necrosabor: the undead sword.
Inside the GSG base, a samurai was practicing sword techniques with a half demon.
"Hayato, follow through with your sword strokes," Nero instructed.
Suddenly without warning, Takanuva crashed through the roof of the base.
"Prepare yourselves to be enlightened!" Nero took out Yamato, summoning his devil bringer.
"Hayato, go contact Angel and Gambit, I'll hold him off"
"A good idea, but foolish". Neo crashed through the building, attacking Nero faster than he could act. Nero countered with a German Suplex, than caught him with a dropkick.
Hayato arrived, Angel and Gambit on his heels. The 4 attacked Takanuva together as a group, Gambit and Angel providing cover for Hayato to attack with his beam katana. Before the foursome could get the upper hand, Doctor Mario dropped from the ceiling. The 4 pressed buttons on their wrists and disappeared.
When Nero, Gambit, Angel, and Hayato reappeared, they found themselves aboard the Stargazer, along with a passenger whom came along for the ride.
"Lon, how did you get here?"
"Nero, that doesn't matter, but if you really want to know, Kaos let me go from the group, saying my talents could be used among more powerful people".
Nero nodded, Let's see what everyone has got up to. The 5 walked into the sickbay to find a talking Niko and Larten.
"Angel? Gambit? Nero? Hayato? Suder? How did you get here?" asked Larten. "We have our ways," said Nero.
Bones arrived in the sickbay at that moment, giving Nero a nod. "Good to see you among us."
"Likewise, Doctor McCoy"
"Larten, Niko, get ready, our next move is escaping with the rest of the group." He through the duo a pare of clothes he replicated for them.
The stargazer parked itself near the prison block of the complex, Larten and Niko getting out of the ship. "You ready, goldeye?"
Niko smiled, "I was born ready".
The mission was simple, free the Enterprise crew and those helping them, sadly enough, they didn't need freeing.
Leading the crew was… a giant turtle?
Deadpool, glares at me. "No Zach, that's bowser! Shut up and let me write this fic, before I throw you into a Klingon bird of prey! Deadpool is silent. Sigh. The turtle… Bowser! "That's it! *throws Deadpool to the Klingons* *Deadpool gets blasted to pieces* The turtle and the group head toward Niko and Larten.
Chief O'brien is the first to reach them, with a smile.
"So I take it Picard was able to find the Stargazer?"
Niko smiled, "Yes".
The group headed out of the base, unchallenged… it seemed the empire had problems, undead problems…
The vampire chuckled. "What is it, Larten," Riker asked.
"Ah, it's nothing".
All the while he's thinking these words, Necro, give them hell.
Hours later, everyone is assembled for the last time. The Enterprise was rebuilt, and the crew was meeting in the mess hall for the last time with their guests. The captain silenced the group with a whistle. I would like to recognize the following people for showing valour and bravery at the crossroads of deaths doors. The captain took out 3 medals of honour.
The first one went to Bowser for leading his group through the hordes of the guards and other creepy crawlies guarding the prison.
The second medal went to Shredder and Krang for working under pressure and thinking quickly under the circumstances.
The third and final medal was a tie between Niko and Metaknight, for showing honor to your comrades in a time of great need, and Niko for risking your life for the sake of others.
At that point, Riker picked up where Picard left off. "It saddens me to say this, but the Enterprise will be departing for deep space at 2400 hours from now.
Those of the crew who'd had been on there for a short while began to complain. "But Mr. Riker, we barely got to see the ship," Naruto wined.
Riku jabbed him in the arm, bones putting a hand over Naruto's one when he was about to retaliate. "Kid, look at the bigger picture of things."
Naruto thought about it. "You're right, I just wish we got to see more of it."
Jim who was sitting on Naruto's right, smiled. "One day, you'll get your chance."
"You think so?"
It was bones whom answered the ninja. "I know so."
The Enterprise crew was in the transporter room of the G.S.S. Stargazer, wishing everyone aboard the ship goodbye.
Riker was the first, coming up to Naruto and Shikamaru. "Take care of yourselves, and watch out for Jim's antics, ay?"
The two nodded. "We will, sir."
Geordie walked up to Riku, presenting him with his way to the dawn, good as new.
"I made some changes to your weapon," The engineer said, smiling. Geordie whispered to not think about it. Riku stopped concentrating, and with a pop, the way to the dawn disappeared. Geordie smiled, then began to whisper something to Riku. It sounded like concentrate again. He thought about his keyblade, and it reappeared in his hand. "Try to break it," La-Forge instructed. Riku went to break the keyblade and succeeded.
"Why did you want me to break my weapon again?" "Geordie smiled, wait for it… The keyblade began to reassemble itself midair, and reappeared in Riku's hand, good as new.
"Wow, how did you fix it up to do that?"
La-Forge smiled. "I have my ways".
The last people to say goodbye were Picard and Riker.
"Sure I can't convince you to come with us?" Riker asked devilishly.
"As much as I'd enjoy it, number 1: they need me, and the needs of the many…" Riker smiled. "Good luck, Sir".
The crew began to shimmer then disappeared for good.
Riker took command of the Enterprise. "So Captain, what's our next move?"
"We continue our five year voyage, commander Data." Worph was at the helm of the ship.
"Mr. Worph, warp 5"
"Warp 5, sir. Engage," Riker said.
And the ship shot off to parts unknown, never to return again. At the same time, the Stargazer did the same thing, just going to warp 4. Course was set in for the GSG headquarters, they had a base to take back, and the army in skyworld could use a hand.
It was time the empire got a taste of Armageddon.
Well that was another eventful chapter – the enterprise is moving on, and seemingly the emperor himself is in trouble. Or maybe Necrosabor is...
